Apple and Google and their likes really don’t need to import more cheap foreign laborers. They’ve got thousands and thousands of them already - can’t even build enough offices to house them all. And these firms can do this work overseas too and pay the same foreigners even less to do it there. So, there’s something else motivating these guys. I’d like to hear what it might be. (And meanwhile they’ve gotta be stopped of course)

No, no. They want even more HB-1 visas! I have a close relative that works with these people, in this industry. The visas are controlled by the sponsoring companies, Google, Facebook, Apple etc and they depress the wages because the slot is owned by the company and they have to ask permission to move to a different company.
Except, the large tech companies who use these workers have a private pact between themselves not to offer employment to each others employees, which again, suppress wages.
Its a real mess out there right now. Its so expensive to live there, these companies feed these kids at work to get them to work round the clock, yet some of these kids cannot buy food due to the cost of rent. Its unbelievable!
